You should disregard the amount of compensation paid to other property owners by an agency with the power to condemn unless you find that the sale was not influenced by the power of condemnation.
NOTE ON USE
Use this instruction when an attempt is made to establish market value by evidence of sales to a condemnor.
COMMENT
Awards paid for other condemned property or purchases of other property by a condemnor are not competent as proof of market value, unless it can be shown that the sale was not influenced by the power of condemnation.
